Section 10. Correcting unsatisfactory conditions.
(a) Duty to report and repair.--When, during an inspection
conducted under this act, an unsatisfactory condition is
observed, the condition shall be reported to the inspector's
customer in writing.
(b) Corrective measures.--When considering corrective
measures for an unsatisfactory condition which has been
discovered during an inspection, it shall be the policy of the
Department of Environmental Protection and local agencies
administering the act of January 24, 1966 (1965 P.L.1535,
No.537), known as the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, to
first consider all Conventional and Alternate OLDS as recognized
by regulations promulgated by the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities
Act in the correction of existing unsatisfactory conditions and,
when the systems cannot be constructed in accordance with
existing regulations, to employ the best performance practices
possible in attempting to repair, replace or enable the system
to perform to its reasonable maximum potential in order to
diminish, to the greatest extent possible, the system's negative
environmental or health impacts.
